Abstract-- Answering approximate queries on string collections is important in applications such as data cleaning, query relaxation, and spell checking, where inconsistencies and e...
We introduce a new filtering method for approximate string matching called the suffix filter. It has some similarity with well-known filtration algorithms, which we call factor...
A successful technique to search large textual databases allowing errors relies on an online search in the vocabulary of the text. To reduce the time of that online search, we ind...
We present a new index for approximate string matching. The index collects text q-samples, that is, disjoint text substrings of length q, at fixed intervals and stores their posi...

We describe a model for strings of characters that is loosely based on the Lempel Ziv model with the addition that a repeated substring can be an approximate match to the original...
